• Subsidies for employers

    From Rich80105@3:770/3 to All on Thursday, December 15, 2016 13:08:15
    Working for Families was only supposed to be a temporary provision -
    but National love it so much they have kept it for 8 years, and are
    planning on extending it!

    This is a good summary of what is also happening here: https://www.facebook.com/senatorsanders/videos/10155422617347908/

    Where is the taxpayer union fighting this rort?

    Catching up with Australia? That only lasted until after the election
    - they know that a reasonable minimum wage leads to greater prosperity
    for businesses as well as workers . . .

    We've done better than catch up. We're ahead. Stronger and broader growth. Lower unemployment. That's why NZ has gone from a massive population outflow to
    Australia under Labour to an inflow under National.

    National claimed not to like the policy when it was introduced, but
    have retained it since 2008. Key said they are going to provide more
    support for low income earners, and English confirmed it wa being

    Why should middle income taxpayers need to subsidise employers not
    prepared to pay a living wage?

    National took over as Labour handed them the unfolding GFC (along with a "decade of deficits"). Labour enjoyed a world wide boom, and grew the public service into a bloat.

    . . .

    Look up the extent of the accumulated deficit from 8 years of the national-led governments . . .

    Yup. Was another never ending election bribe from Labour that brought

    How is WFF supporting employers? They get other subsidies to stay in
    business after Labour killed youth rates (and raised youth unemployment
    rates as a result). BTW nice to see you finally post something relevant
    to the heading.

    Dare you actually address the subject of the thread, JohnO?


    Nope. That's you ducking and diving as usual Rich.

    Catching up with Australia? That only lasted until after the election

    We've done better than catch up. We're ahead. Stronger and broader growth. Lower unemployment. That's why NZ has gone from a massive population outflow to
